Description

The forest was glittering with pinkish colors as Jules moved forward to the start of The Frozen Footrace, a race which has apparently been held for generations and generations. It was certainly exciting to be part of such an old tradition but it was also nerve-wracking since it wasn’t an easy task. Even though some doubts Jules has decided to join. After all, he had wanted to explore the Edge for some time now and he also felt like he had stayed with his family for too long. They were very kind to keep him for this long after they have found him as an abandoned pup, but he felt like he didn’t exactly belong there anymore. He still loved them but for now, he needed to explore his possibilities.

As he walked through the snow, contemplating his motives, voices of other dogs started to echo around and brought him back to the moment. Sleepy woods wasn’t currently sleep-inducing and instead were buzzing with energy that started to cheer Jules up a bit. As he was about to reach the starting line his bad mood was swiped away by amazement. A pink morning light was shining through the trees on a crowed formed by dozens of swarming dogs. Jules moved through the crowd with awe. Sukas around were chatting together, some of them strategizing their moves some joking around. Quite a few sukas were also simply calmly sitting, reserving their strength. Jules noticed a few important looking sukas with black flags roaming around the crowd, verifying and checking participants. Soon enough after standing around for a while a ginger female came to him and did the same as other officials.

“ Name? “

“ Julian“

“ You seem to be a first-timer, Julian. I’ll just check you real quick to see if you’re fit enough to compete. “

Before Jules could react the suka pressed her ear to his chest and listen for a while before sniffing his coat for any sign of infection. As a last check, she inspected his eyes and mouth. He felt like his privacy was breached a little but what could he do, she had to do her job, and checking so many sukas while being overly polite wouldn’t be possible. As Jules opened his mouth to ask something the red suka outdid him and gave him a pink flag and some more information.

‘Here’s your first flag, make sure to tie it tightly. You’re healthy and ready to compete! The start and more details about the race will be announced by Hare, our speaker. Make sure to follow the track closely. Good luck!’

Jules could swear she said it all in one breath and immediately disappeared into the crowd. Well, guess there was no time to lose even though he wanted to ask some questions. He guessed he would have to find somebody else if he wanted to get them answered. But before that Jules took the pink fabric, bent down, and tied it around his left back leg. A small smile crept up to his face as he did. The atmosphere around started to engulf him and his heart started to beat with excitement. He was about to race to the very north, competing with other sukas, some beginners like him and some experienced masters. As he contemplated the thrills and challenges he would face a small albino suka jumped on a pedestal that the crowd was surrounding. Her unusually curly coat was glowing with a pink aura from the dawn behind her. Jules stood up and padded closer so he could get a closer look and hear everything. While walking he tried to get a good look at other participants. He stopped a few lengths before the pedestal near a team of two sukas. Before he could get a proper look at them the white female’s voice rang through the crowd.

“ Good morning, Racers. Welcome to the annual Frozen Footrace ! “

As she finished her welcome shouts of excitement rose around the crowd. The two sukas closest to Jules howled with excitement. Jules couldn’t help him but smile and start howling with them. The voice of the crowd must have carried over Sleepy woods and much further making everyone and everything aware of their presence. The race was about to begin and they were here together to participate in a tradition that was said to be older than the infection.

The voices slowly died out, unlike the excitement that could be seen in every movement. The albino speaker went on with an explanation of the event. Jules listened closely but his head was filled to the brim with happiness and exhilaration, he felt like he could run through the whole race without rest. He chuckled a bit as he imagined himself easily running through the whole Edge without stopping. This was certainly going to be tough but he was here ready for the challenge.
